145I called with all my heart; answer me, O LORD; I will keep your statutes.146I called to you; save me, and I will keep your testimonies.147I came forward at twilight and cried out; for your word I waited.148My eyes anticipated the watches to muse on your word.149Hear my voice according to your kindness, O LORD; according to your justice give me life.150The pursuers of wickedness drew near; they went far from your instruction.151You are near, O LORD, and all your commandments are truth.152Long ago I knew from your testimonies that you founded them forever.
